    Celtic given Ko Itakura transfer lifeline as Man City 'demand' leaves door ajar for Hoops

    CELTIC may be in a position to reignite their swoop for Manchester City star Ko Itakura.

    Celtic may have been given the opportunity to reignite their pursuit of Ko Itakura with Manchester City due to ramp up their asking price for the Japanese international. Borussia Monchengladbach looked set to beat the Hoops to Ikatura's signature, but the new twist could see the deal turn on its head.

    But an update from Bild reveals that Man City are hoping to bump up his £5million price tag. That fee had already ruled out Schalke from completing a permanent switch after the defender impressed on loan last season, and the demand of more money could turn 'Gladbach off too.

    Celtic may wish to test the waters if they are serious about signing Ikatura, given that negotiations with the German side appear to have stalled.

    The Hoops have already signed Cameron Carter-Vickers from Tottenham this month to bolster their defensive options, but Itakura is also highly thought of by Postecoglu. The 25-year-old has been on City's books since 2019, spending the past three seasons on loan in the Netherlands and Germany.

    Last campaign, he helped Schalke achieve promotion back to the Bundesliga with four goals in 31 league appearances. Nevertheless, Pep Guardiola's solid defensive contingent suggests that Itakura has little chance of a future at the Etihad, and with one year remaining on his contract, a sale is expected over the coming weeks.

    Would take him on a loan to buy.

    Replacing Jullien with him, I'd do in a heartbeat. He'd actually contribute.

    I'd still 100% take him, not the most physical but he's had two excellent seasons in the Eredivisie and BL2.

    I'd still be happy to see him here.

    No doubt he'd still be a solid option and as has been pointed out...fit enough to actually contribute regularly to the team

    We're not pursuing him according to Football Scotland.

    So we've done a wee double package deal with City for both Souza and Itakura is what you're saying?

    Once Jullien goes imagine we’ll pick up a young cheaper centre back for back up, can’t see us signing this guy.

    I dont find it hard to believe that we aint interested.

    Think the CB will come out of nowhere. Hopefully left footed, as well.

    Likewise I cannot see us spending large amounts of money on the CB position having signed CCV.

    It’s why I would have liked Touba as he was sub £2m and had the attributes we need but he’s away.

    Riechedly Bazoer hasn’t signed anywhere yet would still love to see him in an Ange team at CB or DCM.

    I'd 100% take Bazoer but not as part of a centre back pairing. His defensive stats aint the greatest, could make a great midfielder for us still though and has that flexibility.

    Apparently his agent has really been pushing for a move to us, but he’s not at the top of our list of targets.

    *. They were after £6.5m a week ago.

    Looks like a great signing for that fee.
